Summary

Riverview Elementary is a public elementary school in Wausau, Wisconsin, serving 495 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Wausau School District, which is ranked 272 out of 426 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Riverview Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from a high of 303 out of 1,025 Wisconsin elementary schools in 2017-2018 to its current ranking of 713 out of 1,044 schools. The school's test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally below the Wausau School District and Wisconsin state averages across all grade levels. Additionally, Riverview's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the Asian and White student populations performing the lowest, while the Special Education students perform relatively well.

Compared to nearby schools in the Wausau School District, Stettin Elementary and Thomas Jefferson Elementary consistently outperform Riverview Elementary in test scores and academic performance. The high rates of chronic absenteeism and free/reduced-price lunch eligibility at Riverview may be contributing to the school's academic challenges, and addressing these factors could be a key focus for the school's improvement efforts.
